I bought them primed genuine, i got them from vagparts.com and they cost 210 sterling including delivery, it included the handles primed also, a bit pricey but was well worth it. I then got all sprayed including paint etc 130 euro.

the brakes seem fine, when i got in the Passat the brakes seemed harder as i nearly put myself through the windscreen, i just have to press a little further to brake. It must be normal for the Golf because i drove another and it was the same. The passat set up may be slightly different.

 

you got snow. you jammy git. still waiting for some in Cork!!!

Did you change the master cylinder that time or keep the original one?

 

how did u get the bhp so high what mods did u do to the engine

a VNT 20/17 hybrid turbo and FMIC.

No didnt change the master cylinder, didnt think i needed to. The brakes seem very good regardless. I drove another Golf , GTI, with the same conversion. they feel the exact same so it must be normal.

 

It's just I heard before from a lad that if you put 16v brakes on an 8v, diesel mk2/3 etc. and didn't use the 22mm master cylinder you would have to press harder/ have more travell in the peddal but the brakes would be just as good and might even be better by keeping the origrnal one. This might be the case in your car...

unlikely because the callipers and the brake pads seem to be the same, main difference was diameter of discks and different carriers.

 

Must be just the way they are so, as you say yourself.

Was contemplating the Anni. one myself, it's a reasonable enough price from vwspeed @ 109 Stg http://www.vwspeed.co.uk/index.php?cPath=6_35

But went for the genuine VW one without the cut-out in the end, 180 yoyo's from the main dealer. I still think it looks better than the Anni. one.

It's all coming together now though Micky, and you have the engine mods well & truly sorted. Did you get the new clutch in yet? The original one musta been slipping like hell trying to cope with that power.

Jazz blue is my favourite colour. My old 115 was that colour, I must stick up a pic, 3dr fully colourcoded with full genuine VW kit on 18's. Highline option wasn't available on the 115 in 01, so it was a comfortline with a ball of extras including the black/blue VW sport seats. It was a much higher spec than any Highline I've come across & reportedly had 6k worth of extras on it when it left the garage. I just needed more power in the end though so it had to go.

 

Does anyone know if this van is still around anyone seen it and what part of the country and is it still running well?

 

seen it around carrigline co.cork now and again

I'd wondered what resurrected this thread! Looked a beaut Micky!

 

Think it was spotted alive and well in Cork!
